Ok, you know of my deep love of Twitter. The Bloggess (TeamJenny in here, Yo!) found this gem. Now, if you don't tweet, or have kids nearby, or don't like bad language, don'y watch, m'K? You were warned.
Ok, now, let's do another game in the comments, K? Tell me if you had to be a charactor from Sesame Street who would you be and why? Oh, come on, you've so thought about it. Yes, you have!
Y'all know I'm a Southern gal. We southerners have strange traditions: moon pies, an affinity for wearing bright colors, and a strange love of all hair & beauty products. I lean toward the heavy handed in my love for beauty products, but I try to control myself!
This edition of fight the frump is all about the eyes -the good, the bad & the ugly!
Did you know husbands often report that their wives eyes are are their favorite and most beautiful part of their wives? And all this time I thought Mr. Smartypants was a breast man! (I see you shaking your head, Miss Thing. I'm a married woman, I can too say that! How'd you think I ended up with five kids? )
First let's explore the ugly-
Every spring we are inundated with "spring fashion forecasts". Be strong, Friends of Fussy, do not be tricked into buying new crap shades!
The smokey eye looks so sexy on the celebrities, I know, I know. Let's face the truth, it won't work in real life.
If you saw your friend, Betty Lou, with black liner all over her face, buying diapers and jumbo tube socks at Target -wouldn't you giggle?
I can achieve the same look at 5am when I was too lazy didn't remove my mascara the night before. It ain't pretty, friends! Hello, heroin chic, anyone?
Finally, colors -just say no to bright colors. The evil, sent by the devil himself, cosmetic marketers will tell us that a certain shade accentuates our eye color. Lies, lies and more lies! Cover your ears and run to your neutrals for cover!
I can't even imagine what y'all will come up with this week. If you do not enter a caption in the contest, please let me know which captions are your favorites, mmm'k?
Sure, I've spoken of my favorite band often here on my little ol' site. But you will have to forgive me, I haven't told my readers the real truth behind my affection for the Christian rockers, Third Day.
You may have heard the rumors or you may have seen the blurry paparazzi photos. Forgive me for hiding the real story behind the band.
Yes, it is true, I am the secret member of Third Day.
We had to keep my ability to RAWk on the down low because we worried that fans would be confused by a frizzy haired suburban mother of 5 being the secret to the Third Day sound.
I am left with only my happy memories of our old days.
Ok, seriously, I love this band and love the brand spankin' new CD, Revelations. This post is part of Third Day's Fun Linky promoting the new release.
For my readers who think they may not be "in to" Christian music, go buy this CD. I promise, you will love it. They rawk. Before my beloved Hubs became a Christian I used to sneak in Third Day into our CD player between Blues Traveler and Allman Brothers CDs. Hubs loved it, even before he loved the message. Good stuff!
Love to all mah friends- new & old, Alli
PS- Congrats to Mark & Stephanie on the birth of their second daughter. What a wonderful blessing.
Y'all, these were so funny that my handsome lesser-half, Mr. Smartypants, almost couldn't pick his favorite 10 entries. They were all so funny. The winner of this week's contest will win these earrings. Good luck.
